Come on, mun! It's time to turn that frown upside down. We have to cheer on our friends from everywhere. There's no time to waste! So get your tail feathers in gear and let's go save the world!

Oooor something like that, right? [She laughs, which is really just a strange bunch of amused "kweh"s.] Don't worry, everything'll be choco-riffic in no time! Now let's cheer on that friend!

Ch-chocolina...?

[chocotroll]

The one and only!

[etrosgift]

Wow! So you've even set up shop in a spot like this, huh?

[chocotroll]

You bet! There's no rest for the super time-traveling salesgirl, Chocolina! Besides, as someone very famous once said, it's dangerous to go alone: take this--for a special price.

[etrosgift]

Someone famous said that, huh? ( oh how we love you, choco-merchant... ) Well -- still, it's good to see you. It always nice when somethi-- I mean -- someone familiar comes along. ( and she smiles )

[chocotroll]

[Word for word.] Oh, you won't ever have to look very hard to find me. I am everywhere, you know. [And it looks like she might be totally serious for a minute, but then:]

I thought about getting a cape, but with great power comes great responsibility, and I already have my wings full with great wares bringing great customers.

[Nope.]

[etrosgift]

( she laughs. your energy is a little contagious what is this... chocofever?? ) Well it's good to be prepared! I bet you'll find a lot of business. All sorts of people come here! ( but you know... no one with wings for hands or anything... )

[chocotroll]

[If it is, she should coin the term to make some money off of it.]

All sorts of people? Sounds like I better up my advertising. I'm going to be a busy little choco-bee in no time. Literally!

[What are you talking about? She looks so natural everywhere. And she has the best sense of humor, ok. :|]

[etrosgift]

( she laughs... yea, your sense of humour is golden -- just like your chocobros' feathers... ) I'm sure they'll be lining up in no time.
( and a pause ) Say -- you haven't seen Noel or Mog anywhere around, have you? ( you'd always remember a paying customer... right?? )

[chocotroll]

[Of course she'd remember, but she makes a very sad face.] Nope. I haven't seen either of them in a while. [But then she perks up, right as rain.] But I'm sure they're around here somewhere! If I see them, I'll give you a caw.

[More kwehing laughter. She thinks she's hilarious.]

[etrosgift]

Right. Uh... ( you're so weird sometimes... ) Thanks! ( what does that even mean... ) Well. As long as I'm here... I might as well take a look at what you've got, right? Anything new?

[chocotroll]

[She would be so heartbroken if she knew you didn't get her joke, Serah. :c]

You bet your tail feathers I do! All new and improved wares. They don't call me the super time-traveling salesgirl for nothing, you know! [Even though...she's the only one who calls herself that...

Anyway, look! She even has her chest of various things for you! Maybe you would like a new weapon, or a shiny new accessory? Or maybe you just want to power up your pets? It's all here!]

Just show me the cash and then you can choco-dash away!

[etrosgift]

( oh, she gets it... its always the same punchline after all!! ) Great! Well... Maybe I should take a look at the weapons first, hmm... Oh! Some of these are pretty expensive. ( just how much money does she have, anyway... )

[chocotroll]

Well they are the best of the best!

[But okay, Serah, you have haggled her down. Such a good negotiator with your cute pink hair.] Just this once it's on the house. You've got a big adventure ahead of you! A chocobo's gotta help a girl out.

[thefutureboy]

Guess I shouldn't be surprised to see that you're here, too. Just how is it you manage to be just about everywhere we are, anyway?

[chocotroll]

Oh! The big hero's arrived! [Excited bouncing staaaaarts: now.]

Well, I guess if it's you, I could tell you.[She leans in conspiratorially. This is serious business, Noel, and no one else knows.] But then I'd have to kill you. [She hops back, wings in the air.] And no one wants that, right!

[Come on, Noel, you should know not to ask Chocolina serious questions.]

[thefutureboy]

[You'd think he would've learned by now...

He quirks an eyebrow at her for a moment.]

Oh, well if that's gonna be the price, then I guess it's just not worth it.

[He grins.]

[chocotroll]

[Well she's one paradox he can't solve, okay. B|]

Buuuut, I still have some super duper choco-mazing items for you to buy! If the price is right. Looking is free, just try not to be blinded by my spectacular golden feathers.

[thefutureboy]

You never cease to amaze, do you?

[He laughs a bit.]

[chocotroll]

[Well she does have a really one-track mind, it comes with being a bird.]

It comes with the time-traveling. [And maybe the fact that she's always alone while they save the world so she has plenty of time to practice.] You know how it goes: I came, I saw, I made a few gil.

[thefutureboy]

Most of it from us, I bet.

Does anyone else ever come by?

[struckout]

[ Oh, it's-- well, would you look at that. ]

... You seem to be doing well.

[ Shrewd? Maybe just a little. ]

[littledragongirl]

[Hi, teeny summoner staring at you.]

...wow. You look like a chocobo!

[academics]

...

Well, this is certainly unexpected.
